My dd is 8 years old who just completed level 3, but is competing as a prep op for the last half of the season. She has her first meet as a prep op at the end of this month. The coaches are wanting to put a roundoff, backhandspring in her routine. She is scared.
I can put one hand on her calf muscle (no back spot, etc...) and she does a great backhandspring. If I remove my hand from her calf and try to get her to do one one her own, she bends her arms and nearly falls on her head, but she is still making it over.
Help!! Is there anything I can say to her, try with her, etc...? She literally has it on her own, she's just won't keep her arms straight. When I spot her calf, her arms are perfectly straight.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
